ArchLinux with package signatures

Postby viking60 » 17 Jan 2012, 02:30

ImageThe only real criticism agains Arch has been the lack of signatures for the packages.
Now Arch has released the package manager Pacman 4 that handles signatures.
Gpg signing is now handled by packman.
That means that there are not very many reasons left for not trying Arch if you are an experienced Linux user.
If you are starting out with Linux traditional distros Like Mint and PCLOS will be better for you.
Manjaro 64bit on the main box -Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz and nVidia Corporation GT200b [GeForce GTX 275] (rev a1. + Centos on the server - Arch on the laptop.
